my bro got a few rods from Mike at MD's.. he was saying that Mike was pretty backed up and it would take a long time to get a custom now.. is that still true ? do you know what his customs usually cost ?

Trigga.....this time of year all the builders are backed up with orders... If you really want a Ditch stick you can be proud of why not try wrapping your own... It's really not as hard to do as you might think.. Although it is VERY addictive.. :D And am sure there are several here willing to give you a hand getting it going... Myself included. .. Best of luck

I picked up a glass SB1213M this winter, it was less than 200 as a custom.
